The King of Shadows

Chapter 72 Gaara's Provocation
In front of him is a vast and boundless ancient forest, with intertwined branches all over the entire field of vision, and the bare roots on the ground are as tall as a person.

The dense towering trees are intertwined with each other, and the sunlight cannot shine in, revealing an eerie atmosphere.

Outside the iron fence, Hongdou glanced at the slightly dignified expressions of the crowd, and gave a slightly smug smile, then opened and closed her red lips and said, "This is the examination room for the second exam—the 44th practice field, which consists of more than 44 locked rooms. The entrance is surrounded by rivers and forests, and there is a tower in the center. The entrance is about 10 kilometers away from the tower..."

"You have to challenge the limit of survival in this limited space. There are no limits to weapons, ninjutsu and methods..."

She suddenly took out two scrolls with the words "Heaven and Earth" written on them: "The goal is to compete for the scrolls!"

Sakura was a little puzzled: "Scroll?"

"That's right! You have to collect the two scrolls of the Book of Heaven and the Book of Earth..." Hongdou's slightly cool eyes swept the audience lightly: "There are still 78 people left, that is, 26 teams, half of them The team brings the Book of Heaven, half of the team brings the Book of Earth, and if you want to pass the exam...you have to get to the central tower with the two scrolls of Heaven and Earth at the same time!"

Sakura said thoughtfully: "In this way, half of the team will be eliminated..."

"Also, there is a time limit, the second exam is 5 days..."

Before Hongdou could finish speaking, Ding Ci interrupted in shock: "5 days? Then what shall we eat?"

"Fix it yourself!" Hong Dou sneered: "There are wild animals here, of course there are also beasts, poisonous insects and poisonous weeds..."

Ding Ci's expression suddenly became painful... Are you kidding me? Solving it by yourself is no different from being hungry... Unless you find a way to follow Xue Shenyue, I heard that his cooking skills are very strong, and Ino goes to eat whenever he is free...

Although both he and Shikamaru suspected that this guy wanted to get close to Xue Shenyue's elder brother Kakashi...

Hong Dou obviously didn't pay attention to Ding Ci's expression, she swept over everyone again, and said in a low voice: "Here is a piece of advice for you...don't die..."

Everyone looked at each other.

Only Naruto said loudly with a face of indifference: "Stop scaring people, I won't die!"

Sasuke and Sakura stepped back quietly, there was no way, it was too embarrassing to be with this guy...

And Naruto then used the taunting skill on everyone: "Hmph! I won't lose! Whoever dares to come over, I'll knock him down!"

Hot blooded as always and...idiot...

Swish!
Before the words were finished, a figure flashed past, at the same time, Xue Shenyue's eyes changed, she stomped on the ground, and also rushed out...

boom!
When there was no time left, his right hand firmly grasped the opponent's wrist, stopping the kunai in front of Naruto's throat.

"Gara, what are you doing?" Xue Shenyue frowned and tightly pinched the other's wrist, meeting his blue eyes.

Bang!
A storm of sand forced Xue Shenyue back a few steps. Gaara put away Kunai, folded his arms and said calmly: "This guy is too noisy. From the first game to now, I have been bored enough."

Candidates around looked at this scene indifferently, except for Sasuke Sakura who was a little angry, everyone else looked like they were watching the excitement.

It was Naruto who came to his senses, but what he said next was beyond everyone's expectations. He pointed at Xue Shenyue angrily and said, "Why are you stealing my limelight again! If it weren't for you, I would have been able to do it with just one kick." Kick him over!"

"Alas..." Shikamaru raised his head and let out a long sigh. This guy didn't realize how dangerous it was just now. If Yukigami hadn't shot in time, Naruto would have been seriously injured even if he didn't die. That Gaara's speed was really too fast!

The corners of Xue Shenyue's mouth also twitched, she really couldn't get along with this one-sided guy...

Gaara looked at Xueshenyue, with a strange look in his eyes, after all, not just a ninja can catch his attack... This guy is not simple, and the boy with the white-eyed blood following the limit is very strong !

If you kill them, you should be able to prove your existence...

I love Luo's green eyes gradually showing a bloodthirsty light, he said to Xue Shenyue gloomyly: "This second exercise is too unchallenging, how about we make it more difficult?"

Not too challenging...

Many examinees showed cold expressions immediately. This guy didn't pay attention to everyone at all. He was really arrogant... But why did he treat the boy in the windbreaker differently? Didn't he hear that this guy's B-level mission took a shortcut?
Xue Shenyue tilted her head when she heard the words, and said indifferently, "How do you add it?"

Gaara pointed at Neiji Hyuga on the other side, and said coldly: "Only the three of us have completed the B-level mission here, and I have no interest in the others, so let's compare which of us will reach the finish line first."

Hinata Neji did not show any dissatisfaction with Gaara's roll call, but nodded and said: "It's really interesting..."

It seems that this guy didn't take the so-called life-and-death exercise seriously...

Xue Shenyue said indifferently: "Whatever you want."

Kankuro secretly said to Tezuki next to him in a cold sweat, "What does Gaara want to do? He is not a competitive character..."

Temari wiped his sweat and said unsurely, "Maybe...he wants to kill again..."

In particular, Jōnin Anko watched with gusto, and immediately felt funny: "Sure enough, they are a group of young people with full of vigor!"

Xue Shenyue curled her lips when she heard the words, the most vigorous person is you...

At this time, I love Luo Kankuro Temari and the three of them had already walked towards the entrance, and at the same time there was a gloomy voice: "You are the ninja of Muye Village... If you don't want to lose to me, you should follow quickly..."

The faces of the people were different, and a proud candidate like Sasuke would naturally be a little upset. After all, apart from looking differently at Yukigami and Ningji Hinata, Gaara looked at them with contempt.

And Naruto didn't know why he got into a fight with Xue Shenyue. He always felt that this guy was stealing his limelight from the beginning of the wave country mission, and now he was meddling in his own business.

Hinata Ningji and Xiao Li Tiantian didn't say anything, and immediately entered the practice field from other entrances, obviously not wanting to be left behind too much by Gaara.

And Xue Shenyue didn't have the heart to care about the thoughts of the people around her. After all, Gaara had already said that, even if it was for Konoha's reputation, he had to do his best...

Not long after they entered the practice field, the three lower ninjas of Kusanin Village also chose this entrance. They had obviously been unhappy with Xue Shenyue for a long time, and now they just followed up to teach them a lesson. They really thought that they could complete a b Level task can be defiant?

"Let's practice with those three arrogant rookies first."

"Examinations allow killers... This is in our favor."

"Let that kid named Xue Shenyue die at the hands of our grass ninja!"

...

Deep in the forest with intertwined branches and leaves, Xue Shenyue and the three who did not know that they had been targeted were jumping in the air at high speed.

At this moment, Ya suddenly twitched his nose, sniffed carefully, and immediately said excitedly: "I smell the bloodworm!"

Hinata on the other side of Xueshenyue asked curiously: "Bloodworm... what do you want to do?"

While jumping, Fang danced and suggested: "Once the sweat and blood of the prey are sensed by the wood leaf bloodworm, they will swarm to them, and they can kill people in less than a moment! We can use this habit to kill the enemy. Setting traps where they must pass will definitely play a big role!"

Xue Shenyue looked at her proudly at her face, she couldn't help shaking her head and said with a smile: "It's absolutely unnecessary, no matter who it is... we will rush straight over!"
-
Hehe, speed is the most important thing now, what a waste of brainpower, if I go at full speed, it will only take me ten kilometers, even if it is dangerous, I am sure that I can break through it within an hour! ——Snow God Moon——
